Castleford Tigers fans will be eagerly waiting to see how their club’s Super Eights programme pans out when the second phase of this season’s fixtures are announced tomorrow morning at 10.15pm.

The Tigers already know who they will be playing and at which ground, but dates for the Super Eights fixtures are being finalised today and will be revealed at a press conference at UK Media City in Salford.

Cas confirmed their place in the top eight three weeks ago and finished fifth in the regular season, edged out of a top four spot by Huddersfield, so get three home games and four away matches.

With teams carrying forward their points from the first phase of the season they are now aiming to climb into the top four to earn a place in the play-off semi-finals, with the Grand Final taking place at Old Trafford on October 10.
